What it does

• It lets people in small communities discuss major conflicts and ideas. It also serves as a central dashboard for new content, weather, local events, discussions, and more. It also uses AI to summarize long key posts so that it is easier to understand and communicate while posting ## How we built it -We made sure to play to our strengths and use the languages we know best. -The frontend is built on the React frontend framework. -The backend consists of a FastAPI web server coded using Python and a SQLite database to store all of the posts, comments, and likes. The backend is the component of our code that handles with the database and the AI summary generation ## Challenges we ran into: -Deciding which AI provider to use and integrating the AI service
• Integrating the web server with the frontend
• Getting the API keys to work -Designing the frontend

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We didn't use that much AI (if you think about it it's a big feat for pea brains such as ourselves)

What we learned

• We learned how to save money by packaging the sqlite db file in the container instead of paying for more mongodb databases (ben). You gotta economize
• We learned more about scaling and containerization
• We learned how to create good wireframes for our apps ## What's next for Interlink
• As soon as we find a hosting solution, we'll publish it.
